This does not related directly to Lancairs but I do know at least one ES
builder and one Glasair builder who have/are involved in helping develop
composite UAVs.

>The U.S. Air Force claims that unmanned aerial vehicles like the
>Predator, a 50-foot-wingspan plane that flies by remote control,
>have recently been successful at locating missile launchers and
>tracking insurgents' movements in Iraq. These are the same UAVs that
>helped eliminate terrorist threats in Yemen and Afghanistan. In the
>wake of Predator's success, the military is developing an incredible
>range of "smart" robotic planes, from flyers small enough to fit in
>a pocket to soaring jets that fly halfway around the world. The next
>generation of pilotless planes will be capable of far more than
>aerial spying and in time may revolutionize the way we fight all
>future wars. In "Spies That Fly," NOVA presents the latest hot
>designs and reveals some newly declassified chapters from the
>exciting history of airborne spying.
